First Grade to Preteen, David

1.

A version of Duck, Duck, Goose. While planning VBS around the theme of the Adventures of King David, we came up with this version keying in on David being chosen. The person doing the selecting becomes Samuel. Samuel taps each person and says "brother" until he "choses" and then he says "David". If you are not familiar with the game, David then chases Samuel to see if Samuel can get back to David's spot first. If Samuel makes it first, then David now becomes Samuel and the game continues. Ideally, you would be able to play long enough that each child has a turn as Samuel and as David at least once. It also allows for each child to become the messenger proclaiming God's choice and each becomes chosen.
